Poll: most disappointing DVDs?

[Lexmark3200]

Lex,

I must fully agree about U571. I picked it up for 10 bucks cause I like the movie and I figured the sound would be cool, and I ended up being totally blown away by the sound quality. A definite must have. Now only if I had a better sub … there I go again.

Oh hell yeah....U571 MUST belong in every HT enthusiast's library; the sound placement is near perfect compared to just about every DVD I have seen (well, and heard!). Ten bucks is crazy cheap for that DVD! Was it Universal's Collector's Edition with the DTS track? That DVD cost me close to 30 bucks I think----and I had to buy it friggin twice because I lost the first copy I bought somewhere in my parents' house in Las Vegas!

is through columbia house. Go to the dvdtalk.com dvd clubs threads and it'll tell you how to do it. I've been through numberous accounts with an average of under 8 buck per dvd total, new releases and everything. They don't have many criterions and superbits but that's life.

There have been some bad ones, but easily the most dissapointing dvd that I ever played was The Hunt For Red October. I guess they came out with a newer "special edition" nearly a year ago, but the original dvd release was so dissapointing. Terrible audio and the worst picture of any dvd that I have ever come across.

Bogrod,

The newer version of Hunt For Red October, with the DTS track, is a much improved version of that DVD you speak of. Paramount got it right with the Special Edition DTS Hunt For Red October, and it is easily one of the favorites in my collection. The DTS, while not exactly "hot" or overly-aggressive.....does sound great, with score and effects coming from every channel. The opening symphony music wraps around you and sounds improved over the Dolby Digital version.

Yes, that's exactly where I got it. Definitely impossible to pass up.
